Powell Peralta Dragon Formula Nano Rat 54mm 88A

Powell Dragons... now in a softer 88a!

Smoother, softer, faster Dragons, can you believe it? The cushiest "hard wheel" available - this is your go-to to skate across town to the spot, and not have to change wheels when you get there.

For all round skateboarding it can't be beat. This version is the 54mm Nano-Rat shape - centreset, wider than a typical 54mm wheel with an inner lip designed to keep you locked in to your grinds and an outer lip with a fat radius to keep that line between grip and slip as blurry, forgiving and fun as possible.

And they are fun to slide. You can build up more speed on these than a typical street wheel thanks to the soft 88A urethane and then when you put it sideways... zing! It's like being on ice, but not like when your granny falls on an icy driveway and breaks a hip. More like first light on a frozen remote loch with some fancy boots and all day to see how fast you can go. Rad.

54mm is a sweet spot for functional skateboarding - ollies and manuals are in no way impaired by extra weight or ride height and yet they'll get you round town without rattling your cartilage to pieces. Quite literally, some of the most fun you can have without breaking the law.

Gear up to get down... the Powell Dragon Formula Nano Rats are here to stay.
